After the marriage, the charming educated youth is eye-catching

As long as the porridge base is cooked well, you will definitely be able to retain customers.

Lin Ziqiu immediately stated, "We just went to the lake and got some seafood. I can cook it for you tonight and you can decide."

Jiang Lin had never heard of adding seafood to porridge.

The fish meat was not added to the porridge from the whole fish. Lin Ziqiu took the belly of the fish and cut it into thin slices.

The remaining parts are fried in oil and crushed to make 'crispy fish meat'.

After closing in the evening, everyone in the store stayed to try the seafood porridge.

Lin Ziqiu fiddled in the kitchen for an hour or so before deciding on the ingredients for the porridge base, and also listed out the other side dishes that could be added.

As soon as it was served on the table, everyone gathered around.

Most of the old-fashioned hot pots these days are made of copper, and the bottom of the pot is heated by charcoal, with orange-red flames jumping on the bottom of the pot.

There is a layer of mist on the top of the pot, and the milky white soup base exudes a rich and delicious aroma, which is particularly tempting.

"Wow! This smells so good!" Tian Xiaofeng couldn't help swallowing his saliva several times. "I've never wanted to drink a bowl of porridge as much as I do now."

Most of the people here have never been able to eat white rice for every meal since childhood. It is very good to have a bowl of rice porridge to fill their stomachs.

Lin Ziqiu wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Then eat more later."

She first served Jiang Lin a bowl and said, "Uncle, try this porridge first. You can add whatever you want to eat to the rest."

Jiang Lin had eaten a lot of good food, and his taste buds were completely conquered after just one bite.

His eyes were filled with excitement. "The aroma of rice mixed with the fresh aroma of fish in this porridge is amazing! Did they add shrimp? And pepper? It's not too salty or too bland. It's really good, delicious!"

The others couldn't wait to serve it and drink it. Tian Xiaofeng even burned his tongue because of his impatience.

Lin Ziqiu watched as each of their eyes lit up with surprise, all immersed in the delicious satisfaction. She raised the corners of her lips slightly and put the side dishes in to boil. "Remember to give me some feedback after you finish eating."

"What else can I say about this? What's the word for it?"

"Perfect!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's perfect!"

Listening to their praise, Lin Ziqiu's cheeks flushed slightly, "I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."

"Please save some for me. I'll pack a portion and bring it to my chef to try." Tian Gui smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. Seeing that his senior sister's child was such a good cook, he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart.

If you have a skill, you won't have to worry about going hungry.

"Uncle Tian, ​​I've left some in the kitchen, so you can eat them without worry."

Lin Ziqiu had already considered this, so it was only right that he made new dishes for his grandfather to try.

"Eat something yourself! Come on, use this bowl!" Tian Gui handed her the bowl and chopsticks.

The five of them ate a pot of seafood porridge and were very satisfied.

After the meal, Jiang Lin called Lin Ziqiu aside to talk alone, "This porridge tastes good today. Go and make some arrangements. We'll try it out this weekend."

"No problem." Seeing that he agreed, Lin Ziqiu couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

Jiang Lin patted her shoulder and said, "Work hard. If the self-service porridge is good, I will give you a bonus later."

"Roger that!"

In two days, Lin Ziqiu drew up a list of side dishes and taught Tian Gui how to make the porridge base. If there were many customers, she would not be able to handle it alone.

The price is per person, one dollar per person, and you can eat as much as you want.

The news spread quickly, all thanks to Zhong Zhiyang who mentioned it deliberately while chatting with someone while delivering newspapers.

In less than a day, it caused a huge response.

Lin Ziqiu anticipated that there would be a lot of people, so he hung a sign at the door, limiting the number of self-service porridge customers to 200 per day.

On the weekend, the doors of the state-owned restaurants were almost broken down. People were crowded together, and everyone was scrambling to get a seat with money and food coupons.

For this purpose, Jiang Lin also found a few temporary workers to help as waiters. There was no room for everyone in the store. Fortunately, the weather outside was pretty good with sunshine, but there was still wind. However, it did not affect their willingness to queue at all.

There are two hot pots per table, one pot for four people, and a table can seat eight people. The rest of the side dishes can be taken from the special side dish area.

There are only ten tables in the store, so there was a long queue outside.

Lin Ziqiu was busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner. When he saw Tian Xiaofeng coming in to move some things, he called him and said, "Xiaofeng, tell the guests after the 200th seat to come back next time."

She had made sufficient preparations and had 200 number plates made in advance to avoid making some customers wait in vain.

"Got it!"

Tian Xiaofeng carried out a bucket of bowls and chopsticks. Nowadays, people use porcelain bowls and there are no disposable bowls and chopsticks.

After distributing the bowls and chopsticks, he went out to count the people.

Some of the customers who didn't get a number were still complaining. One of them was a fat middle-aged man who stood in the crowd like a small mountain, exuding an unreasonable aura.

He pointed at Tian Xiaofeng's nose and cursed, "What the hell! Your restaurant is picking on its customers. Who has time to come here and queue up every day?"

Tian Xiaofeng quickly explained, "I'm so sorry, we have limited ingredients every day, so the number of guests we can entertain is also limited. Queuing is inevitable, I hope you can understand."

"I understand you! Who understands us? It's so cold outside, why would you tell us we can't get in line and still be here in the cold wind?"

Tian Xiaofeng bowed slightly and apologized, "I'm so sorry... How about this, next time you come to eat, we'll give you a 50% discount, okay?"

The fat man spoke in a very aggressive tone, his double chin layered over his face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the flesh on his face trembled slightly with every word. "Do you think I look like someone who is short of money? I don't care. I won't leave if I can't eat today!"

His behavior incited the guests nearby who were about to leave to stay as well.

Just then, Ruan Qing came from behind the team pushing Huang Bin in a wheelchair. She winked at Tian Xiaofeng, signaling him to move aside.

Ruan Qing glanced at the fat man with a cold gaze and said sarcastically, "Since you are so rich, why don't you go ask the people in the queue ahead of you if they are willing to give you the space? You can just give them some money."

They had actually arrived a long time ago. Huang Bin was in a wheelchair and it was inconvenient for her to squeeze into the crowd, so she deliberately lined up at the back. Less than ten minutes later, she saw Tian Xiaofeng coming over to apologize to the guests behind her.

She thought the fat man's dress didn't look like he was rich, and he looked down on the 50% discount. Could it be that he wanted to eat and dine for free?

The fat man was furious. "You stinky bitch, I'm going to settle accounts with him, do you have the right to speak?"
